ARE FAVORABLE
TO CRIER BILL
Local Sentiment Favors En
actment of Literacy Bill
of Anchorage Man.
The literacy lest bill yesterday in- j
troduced in the House of Represent-1
stives by Grier, of Anchorage, was I
he pause of considerable favorabV ]
■omment from local leaders, both
Democratic and Republican, as be
ing simple enough to he workable and ,
with a test not too stringent yet at j
the same time broad enough to meet
the situnlion as it has developed in j
Southeastern Alaska in the past two j
years and which threatens to spread
n the near future to other districts. I
Among members of the Legislat-1
ire, who naturally are not ready to I
commit themselves definitely until
ifter a study of the hill, there seemed |
o be a strong sentiment favoring its
mactment. A number of the mem
bers of each House, who had been
;iven an opportunity to examine it ; j
:ontents before introduction, endors
'd it heartily.

Courts May Tell Whether
Dublin Has a Lord Mayor
DUBLIN, March -Dublin is
discussing whether or not it has a
Lord Mayor, and opposite opinions
are held. The practice in the past
lias been that the Lord Mayor holds
office until his succesor is appoint
ed. and Lord Mayor O'Neill believes
that, us no successor has been ap-'
pointed, he is still the Lord Mayor.
But the Lord Mayor is an official,
of the corporation, and there is now i
no corporation.
The entire Municipal Council wasj
suspended by the Free State (iov
eminent, which put in its place
Commissioners who are now actual
ly administering the city. The Lord
Mayor must ,be an Alderman or.
Councillor, and there are now noj
Aldermen or Councilors. The solu-;
tlon of the difference will, it is
said, lie submitted to the Supreme
Court.
